Pros

Learning curve was goods, there is so many thing that you can learn along the career, and you will get involved with a lot of projects and testing on top of your daily task. Benefits package was above market can offer. They have additional 5% EPF contributions, insurance coverage and bonus was good.

Cons

Since alot of project on going, you need to struggle with daily task and testing at the same time especially closing week. Time management was important here or else you won't get the job done on time and impacted the whole team. In 2025, they still on hybrid that need to come office three days per week, and they are not that flexible in terms of working period. Expect the overtime almost every day due to workload when you are in R2R team. Only some teams like treasury/AR are okay and have the work life balances but depends on the manager. Office politics /racism exist but focus on your work then you are good to go. If you are in the R2R team, difficult to have long leave due to no backup and need to work on your own arrangement how to complete the task during the period.

Pros

Work-life balance exists and is generally respected. Bonuses can be good, depending on the year and leadership priorities. Strong, reputable brands that look impressive on a résumé. "Some" genuinely great people who work hard despite the environment.

Cons

No meritocracy whatsoever. Promotions and career growth are driven by favoritism, internal alliances, and visibility politics rather than performance or results. Advancement often feels like a popularity contest. “Core values” are largely performative. They are referenced often but ignored when inconvenient, especially at leadership levels. Questionable long-term strategy. Direction changes frequently, priorities shift without explanation, and long-term planning feels weak or reactive. Extremely bureaucratic. Simple decisions require excessive approvals, slowing execution and stifling innovation. Politics over performance. Success depends more on who you align with than what you deliver. If you're not "one of them" or if they don't want to continue paying you your value, they'll find ways to get rid of you. So choose wisely and research the role and team.
